Because Lotusland is a public garden operating in a private, residential neighborhood, advance tour reservations are required. We recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance of your desired visit.

Self-guided tours are at 9:15, 9:30 and 9:45 for morning visits and

1:15, 1:30 and 1:45 for afternoon visits.

Reservation times are available Wednesday through Saturday, plus every third Sunday.  

For reservations call 805-969-9990 

If you are unable to reach a reservations associate, please leave a voicemail message with your information and a member of our team will return your call in the order it was received.

Reservation phone hours: Monday through Friday between 9 AM and 4:30 PM

Reservations are not confirmed until you receive a written confirmation.

What is there to see at Lotusland?

A series of gardens, with subtropical and tropical plants from around the world, draws the visitor from surprise to surprise on the two-hour self-guided walking tour. There will be time to visit the Garden Shop Patio at the end of your visit or shop online at LotuslandShop.org.
